"Football, as an organised, competitive sport WAS started in the UK."


Sort of. Yes football was first organized in the U.K., but that doesn't mean that football was invented here, or that 'football is coming home' is anything other than total xenophobic ******.

Sorry fella, I try to post when you lot are still in school.

And I better tell you now, and keep it in mind fella.

My Dad is BIGGER than your dad.

OK **thumbup

Franky Boyle - well my dad will sh*g your dad

Back to the matter, I don't think the world cup will come to England again to any of these recent generations so I would be all for creating a new football organisation with all the dominant footballing countries like spain, italy france and germany

BUT... you are suggesting to say we invented football is xenophobic??

If you are you need to look up the meaning of the word.

Football, as a sport, was standardised in England. Thats a FACT. Not xenophobia!


I know exactly what xenophobia means, I suspect that you don't. Anyone who continues to insist that England invented football despite the mountain of evidence to suggest that we didn't, clearly has a sad 'little englander' mentality beloved by the BNP and the EDL.

You (seeing as how you love dictionaries so much) need to look up the meaning of the words 'standardised' (sic) and 'invented'.

You'll find they have very different meanings.

the home / birthplace of association football

on a different but similar note losing the bid wasnt the problem...FIFA accepting bids from countries that were never going to win was the problem :banghead:

...yes as i have posted..there is no real issue with Russia winning the bid..they have 8 years to clean up the corruption and crime and build what is needed..

The problem is that the only bidders should have been countries that fall into Russia's category and NOT England..as there was never any intention to award it to England...the Bid team should have been told way back and not wasting money this country can ill afford to waste...

FIFA misled the bidding countries...that is the problem not who it was awarded to as such
